Who is the Most Overrated Actor? – Survey of the Day

There is no real good answer for the question "who is the most overrated actor" because it all really comes down to personal opinion. Some people absolutely love Tom Cruise others think the kids from the local middle school can act better. The thing you have to remember when calling a famous actor overrated is that somewhere out there people like him/her... That is why they are famous. Who tops your list?

One way to use factual information to prove that an actor is overrated is by using actual ratings combined with what the actor makes.

Chelsea Handler is one of the most overpaid stars on TV and Ashton Kutcher is one of the most underpaid, according to a new report. The Los Angeles Times calculated how much several popular TV personalities are paid per viewer by dividing their annual salaries by the average number of viewers for each star’s show as a way of determining who’s overpaid and underpaid for their services. Handler is one of the most overpaid stars, banking $16.70 per viewer as host of “Chelsea Lately,” thanks to her $12 million salary and the show’s 0.7 million viewers. Meanwhile, Ashton Kutcher and Ryan Seacrest are among the most underpaid stars despite their massive salaries, due to the popularity of their various shows. Kutcher makes $17 million a year for his work on “Two and a Half Men,” but the show’s 14.7 million viewers bumps his pay per viewer down to $1.16. Seacrest only earns $0.75 per viewer as host of “American Idol” despite his $15 million salary and the show’s 20 million+ viewers. “Modern Family” star Ty Burrell is at the bottom of the list with only $0.08 per viewer.
